Look man, if it’s a good solution it’s a good solution. You’re attacking things that haven’t been proposed (by the bill in the OP).
I actually don’t think legislation in a US state is a good way to create a technology standard so I wouldn’t like to see this pass, but it’s honestly the best way that I’ve seen to provide age verification for websites.
It puts the onus on the parents to set the date correctly and takes it off of businesses to comply by doing it themselves where privacy is definitely at risk. If this is what was implemented it would not harm privacy and it would defang the “protect the children” arguments they constantly use to justify completely destroying privacy.
You can rant and rage until you’re red in the face, but those are the facts.
